I do window screen repair Thousand Oaks and I know that a window screen can be very delicate if not treated right. The first thing you should know about screens is that to remove them, they first have to have screen tabs, if not you already are going to have problems. A screen frame tab is the rubber black square on the bottom of the frame that is there for you to hold on to.

If you are missing them, chances are that they probably broke off due to just being brittle. After a few years the tabs get brittle and crack off when pulled on, they just don’t last more than 7 to 12 years, depending on how much sun they get. Normally the screen mesh material needs to get rescreened every 7 to 12 years and that’s when the tabs get replace as well. Give me a call for a free estimate on all you screen needs.

Do you have a sliding screen door that needs change? Sliding screen doors that have little plastic rollers and black plastic handles are not good quality screen doors. If you wand to get a very good quality patio screen that is guaranteed to last for years without nay sliding problems, we have the extruded screen door that is flxible yet very strong.

The frame has a baked enamel coated finish that will not chip or fade with the elements. the handles are also extruded aluminum and are very comfortable to grab. The rollers are steel ball bearing and can be adjusted for proper fit and the mesh comes in regular mesh for bug protection and pet screen for protection against dogs and cats ripping and tearing them. All our work is done onsite and is all guaranteed. give us a call.

Rescreening your window really makes a difference in the look of the house and the visibility. We rescreen many windows in Thousand Oaks and we also do new screen frame if you are missing any. The materials we use are the thick and solid screen frames. They come in gray, white and bronze and are made to size onsite.

The actual window encasements are measured on the spot ans we cut the frame to ensure proper fit before installing them. We always guarrantee the work we perform and make sure you are 100% satisfied before leaving job site.

After many years window screen frames start to need repair. Some will be bent in several spots and cracked, other you will be missing all together and other will seem to never fit right. Screen frames are very delicate and have to be handled with a bit of care. Never grab a screen in the middle of the frame because thats the number one place the screen frame id the weakest.

A screen needs tabs and you need to handle it there. If you are having problems taking the screen off and on then you might need to repair or even replace it. There is good news. I can probable fix most screen problems without replacing anything but the mesh. I take out the bug screen and try to do my best in straightening it out. Once straight I rescreen it with new charcoal fiberglass and bam, a new screen for the next 10 to 15 years.

There are a few things you need to check on your porch screens in order to do a proper screen repair. For the aluminum frame on the sliding screen doors to slide good it will need to have no roller hardware problems. The best are the copper wheels, they are long lasting and usually have sealed bearings which don’t allow dirt from the backyard pool area to oxidize them.

Next you will need to check the fiberglass insect screening. When working with mesh on sliding doors pet screen is what I recommend, this stuff is so strong you can barely cut it with a knife. Just make sure the spline is on tight and almost nothing will rip it. Try not to use the regular wire mesh used on windows as it was intended to be a bugscreen and not to be used by dogs,cats,kids and people touching it.
